    Default Bad throttle response

    Been having this problem since I got the car over a year ago. You can push the accelerator peddle 1/4 way down before engine begins to rev. Can anyone tell me what's up with it. It's really getting on my nerves now lol cheers

    Or access to tech2 or other software, u can see the percentage i think it was, it'll show responsive readings.

    As to removing it, cant help as i havent done that but read it somewhere on this forum about it.

    Failing spending a few hundred quid on it, Vauxhall specialist or dealer! Stick a post up in your regional section to see if anyone has tools to help you out.

    Of course it could equally be at the 'other end' too ... Throttle position sensor, gunged up throttle body, actuator problem... I'd give the throttle body area a good clean and check, just to be sure everything is clean moving freely before moving on to the more difficult to check sensors, etc.

    What he said, too expensive to buy one for personal use, and u need to understand what to do as one slight change affects entire codec so ideally someone with tech2 or alike near u is best. I would offer to help u if u were closer to me.
